Profile
I'm a graduate student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign studying abroad in Liege, Belgium where I am improving my French as I study French linguistics. I am taking a Dutch class intended for BAC1 students who have had Dutch before at the high school level and it's a real challenge. Since Dutch might be useful for my thesis I am looking to learn it. I am still very much a beginner but I am a fast learner. I doubt I could afford private tutoring unless it's reasonable but I would be willing to do online English/Dutch exchanges.

    Hi! I'm an American living in Belgium (Liege). Let me tell you first that each region of Belgium is monolingual (except Brussels and the German region) so in Wallonia they do not speak Dutch and in Flanders they rarely speak French. I would say focus on French because you're more likely to meet Walloons who don't speak English than Flemings. The Flemish are very well versed in English usually and you can go to any of those cities and get by in English. You could survive in Liege and Bastogne in English too but they really appreciate it here if you try a bit of French (where my experience in Flanders is that they just go to English immediately even if you speak some Dutch). In Brussels most people speak French but you can get by on English. Hope that helped!
